Not so equal. Not so free.
Back then? Or now? If you mean now, who's not free In the U.S.? Give examples.
Incarceration in the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Are you saying the civil rights movement never took place? You're confusing. Today's SJW acts like we're still living pre-civil rights era, almost just to try to find something to bitch about.
To the fallen, in hope that we can learn and change!
OK, you asked.
You have people who were born in the US, have been educated, and have worked, and lived their whole lives in the US, who have never even seen another country, but who do not have the rights of US citizens. You have special police to arrest them and special courts to charge them and to deport them, to what is to them, a foreign country.
Even with the civil rights movement (which mostly gained rights for African Americans, and not for others) you still have a vastly unequal record of imprisonment on a racial basis. The strongest anti-slavery clause of your Constitution (13th Amendment) has an exception and so still allows legal slave ownership!
You have school Civics classes that are mandatory and that present only one political system. You have people who are accused of being 'unpatriotic' merely for suggesting that there are things wrong with your society. A patriot seeks for the betterment of his fellow citizens, not for the status quo and especially in regard to human rights and fairness.
Despite the staggering wealth of the few, you have vast numbers of people who are homeless or otherwise living below the poverty line. The usual excuse is to say they all must have mental problems - that's what the Nazi's said about their 'problems', too.
You have a legal system that provides for bail - but only for those that can afford it.
White, wealthy, male privilege still exists strongly in US society. Some people simply can't get ahead, no matter how hard they try.
... and you label those who see that there are still issues as 'social justice warriors' as if they were reacting to something that doesn't affect the life, status, and incomes of hundreds of thousands who are trapped by an authoritarian adherence to rules which can often be irrelevant to the situation.

Everything you have argued has been debunked here on ATS with proven FBI statistics etc regarding race. You're repeating left-wing CNN talking points that have constantly been shown to be bunk over and over.
Your sad little paranoia over "white privilege" in modern U.S. society has fallen short, time and time again. It's your choice to ignore the facts and keep up the BS narrative. I guess it's a good thing you don't live in the U.S. cause with your type of paranoia, you'd be screeching at the sky like millions of other insane leftists here. On second thought, please stay in NZ. Just stay there, and the Hell out of U.S. politics.

Have to be honest, that is a really disingenuous title given the current state of the world.
I guarantee you , especially on a conspiracy website like ATS has become, that someone is going to see that and think it's something breaking going on.
As to the post, yeah..Kent State is a horrible black mark that should never be forgotten.
